Looking forward to Dragon’s dogma more than Diablo 3

I’ve always enjoyed a good dungeon crawl so I’ve always been a sucker for the Diablo games so May 15th is going to be a fun day playing the crap out of Diablo 3, but at the back of my mind I’m really counting down to Dragon’s dogma.

The more I see of this game gets me more excited for it.

The playlist link below will take you to a guy’s large (and growing daily) list of long and short footage taken from preview build of the game.

Hope you enjoy them, so far I’ve not seen an storyline spoiler’s as he seems to run through and annoyingly seems to skip a lot of mobs and content, but still he also has several videos of pawn/player skill sets, talking with your main pawn and item enchanting.

I liked the demo for DD and so I'll probably pick it up before I eventually get around to D3. Honestly, I'm looking for something I'd enjoy playing on my console rather than PC. Dragon's Dogma seems to offer a lot of the choice I like in PC RPGs while still being set on a console.

I have confidence D3 will be ground breaking. I am still shaky on Dragon's Dogma, though I checked out all the videos. If its good I will def buy it but that no PC is a big deterent.

It seems okay, the only class I would play is the mage, the other stuff looks janky as hell. I really like the night/day emphasis, probably the best thing about the game! Though just the fact that its on the Xbox and not the PC makes me think its less strategic and more mashy...

I'm looking forward to DD more but that's only because it looks rather unique in some ways so I'm really interested to see how it turns out. I'm still going to buy D3 of course because we all know how good that's going to be and frankly it's a sequel so it's doubtful they're going to do anything incredibly different, not that I'm complaining. They do what they do well.

looks like a cool game but damn i'd rather play it on a PC. Hopefully capcom sees the light and announces a PC version soon.

While the developers and publisher haven't admitted to anything, it seems reasonable--in light of what happens to a lot of recent Capcom games--to suggest that there will be a PC port down the line. Of course, this is just speculation and conjecture.

If we end up with a PC version, the real question will be the quality of the port. Capcom games don't have the best of records when it comes to their PC versions.

i'm not too worried about it being a bad port job, MT framework games usually run just fine on PC. The big concern is the user interface friendliness for mouse and keyboard but i really don't mind plugging in a controller for this game.

I had only a passing interest in both and then I played the Diablo III public beta and Dragon's Dogma's demo. Diablo's beta left me really impressed, Dragon's Dogma left me super underwhelmed, the game just felt clunky, awkward and wasn't exactly aesthetically pleasing. Don't get me wrong, it's super cool that you can mount creatures like Griffons and Chaimeras as you hack away at them, but that's about where my appreciation for the demo ended. I've slapped down a pre-order for Diablo III and will be holding off on purchasing Dragon's Dogma if at all.

I'm at this stage where I'm too distracted by Dragon's Dogma that I don't want to play any other game as it would detract from my experience of those games, Diablo 3 and Max Payne included. Way I figure it middle of the year is when the drought of games happen so I'll have two great games to keep myself occupied during June and July.

I'm in that weird place as well. I've been really excited for Diablo 3 and was looking forward to playing it this week. Yet about a month ago Dragon's Dogma really grabbed me to the point where I decided to hold off on playing Diablo 3 until I'm done with Dragon's Dogma.

Just noticed that the last video for this game was posted almost a year ago on this site. Kind of a sad state of affairs. Here and elsewhere coverage of this game seems very minimal and the game comes out next week! A bad omen for this game, I'd say.

Not really, this is typical Giant Bomb. They gushed all over Dark Souls for example but never even did a Quick Look of Demon's Souls until like a month after it's release and never covered any of it's videos or promo trailers. GB only covers "AAA" games or ones that have so much hype behind them you have to cover them.

Of course that's typical GB, but even outside of this website, coverage for a game with such a large team behind it isn't what it needs to be for this game to be a commercial success, I feel. You know I'm looking forward to this game, but I just don't see it succeeding in the market.

It will be fine. Capcom's own projections are only looking for 1.5 million sales over a extended period. Once the first few weeks of hype for the game released today is over and people start realizing there is other stuff to play it will pick up. Also remember that after May there isn't really a whole lot to see for the most part. Especially when it comes to RPG's. Just keep giving the game good word of mouth, let your buddies know, etc etc. It will do okay once people give it a try.

I sure as hell hope you're right! Good point about the post-May period. Also, 1.5 million doesn't seem unreasonable.

Man, I feel much better somehow.

Hahahaha good. If you want you can tide yourself over by watching some youtube vids. I know one guy is posting some every day. Some of them give some reasonably useful info but others you need to avoid because they are minor spoilery/it is just him running around on a naked female arisen beating up low level mobs.

Yeah, I've been soaking up videos of this game for about a week and a half now. I can't wait for this to come out.
